From email addresses with 4 character domain names or non-normal domains

Question

I am attempting to add a From email address with a .club domain. Civi is stating, "Please follow the proper format for From Email Address" when I try to save the email address. I looked for the error in all of my civicrm plug files and found one line in CRM\Admin\Form\Options.php that has text below. I thought perhaps the "3" was the length of the domain name having to be 3. I changed to 4 and still the same error. Has any one had experience in Civi with "non-normal" domains other than the usual suspects (e.g., .org, .com, etc.)?

  $formName = explode('"', $fields['label']);
  if (empty($formName[1]) || count($formName) != 3) {
    $errors['label'] = ts('Please follow the proper format for From Email Address');
  }
}

Answer 1

The most likely cause of this error is that the email was entered in the format [email protected] rather than a name and email in the format My Name <[email protected]>.

While the field label at civicrm/admin/options/from_email_address?reset=1 says From Email Address, the field actually requires you to enter a sender name and email address.

The field help says,

Include double-quotes (") around the name and angle-brackets (< >) around the email address. EXAMPLE: "Client Services"
